 What is the GVRP protocol

GARP and GVRP are industry-standard protocols that are described in IEEE
802.1p.
GVRP is a GARP application that provides 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning
and dynamic VLAN creation on 802.1Q trunk ports.
With GVRP, the switch can exchange VLAN configuration information with

other GVRP switches, prune unnecessary broadcast and unknown unicast
traffic, and dynamically create and manage VLANs on switches that are
connected through 802.1Q trunk ports.

 GVRP term and concepts

Port GVRP register Normal mode: Vlans Switch will be add/ registration and
deregistration of Vlans to its vlan database, dynamically.
Port GVRP register with Fixed mode: Vlans Switch will be configured by
manual
Port GVRP register with Forbidden mode: GVRP Switch advertise Vlan 1 to

other side for GVRP communicate, only.
JoinEmpty & JoinIn: These messages are used by an applicant to declare an
attribute. Reception of a JoinIn message from other applicants or transmission of
Join messages enables an applicant to register the attribute.
LeaveEmpty & LeaveIn: These messages are used by an applicant to withdraw
its declaration when it is no more associated with an attribute.

LeaveAll: It is in charge of periodic declarations and registration maintenance.

An applicant periodically sends LeaveAll messages which enable other applicants
to indicate their attributes registered states.
Port GVRP is participant: Port send GVRP PDU that allowed to add its vlan
database on other GVRP switch

Port GVRP is non participant: Port doesnt send GVRP PDU that allowed to add
its Vlan database on other GVRP switch. But, this port is still to receive GVRP
PDU that update its Vlan database.

 GVRP configuration on Dasan Switch

GVRP is disable on default configuration

Step 1: enable gvrp
SWITCH(bridge)# gvrp enable
SWITCH(bridge)#
Step 2: enable gvrp on port switch
SWITCH(bridge)# gvrp port add 3,12
SWITCH(bridge)#

Step 3: show gvrp
SWITCH(bridge)# show gvrp
GVRP is enabled on the switch.

 The purpose of GVRP protocol

V2224G-OP connect to the MAN E, directly. So, GVRP is not effect on this
service case.
GVRP have the most effective in the distribution switch network such as the
figure such as Slide 09.
Vlan is created dynamically by GVRP protocol that prune unnecessary broadcast
and unknown unicast traffic
Because, Vlan is created dynamically then operator may reduce for the operation.

But, they would rather have Vlan database on each GVRP switch.
